23. Able to Deliver

1 O troubled heart, be thou not afraid,
In the Lord thy God, let thy hope be stayed;
He will hear thy cry and will give thee aid,
Whate'er thy cross may be.

Chorus:
He is able still to deliver thee,
And His own right hand thy defence shall be:
He is able still to deliver thee,
Then be thou not afraid.

2 O troubled heart, tho' thy foes unite,
Let thy faith be strong and thy armor bright;
Thou shalt overcome thro' His pow'r and might,
And more than conqueror be. [Chorus]

3 O troubled heart, when thy way is drear,
He will rescue thee and dispel thy fear;
In thy greatest need He is alway near,--
To Him all glory be. [Chorus]
